i applied to nottingham, worcester, ulster and have gotten interview invites only waiting on sgul. i’m sorry for the rejections but there’s still hope for uclan and brunel. would you consider doing the other courses you’ve been offered?

I would say RCSI cares more about why you want to study with them specifically and what can you bring to the uni exactly. So make sure you focus on those points in your PS and interview. My interview was on sonru and was a list of about 18-20 questions, and I had a minute only to answer each and record my response. Questions were:
-what are your strengths?
-what are your weaknesses?
-What type of doctor do u wanna be?
-Why RCSI?
-Hobbies/past time activities?
-favorite subjects?
there were more questions but honestly I forgot them. They really care more about learning about YOU and NOT your academics during the interview so talk more about yourself instead. Also just have good body language and talk in a flowing manner like you would write a fancy essay :smile:

No applications close around February I believe. I, and my other friends got our interviews around the 31st of March but that’s because they had a very high volume of applications in the last cycle so it took a longer time. I know some who got their interviews early to middle of March as well! I guess they applied way earlier, I applied end of Jan 😅
